"Unless . .. that is part of the treatment."
You anticipated their protocol quite well gigi. They have a very rigorous program but it all starts with 2 or 3 weeks of consuming liquid / powdered drinks.
You're very lucky to have found a doc-- period. I just this morning got a call from Mayo in my attempt to get Dr Bledsoe appt. in Rochester. NOPE. They will not assign a doctor with any specific name to your appointment. You get who you get assigned-- period. I said thanks, but NO thanks. Walked away. So, still looking, forgetting any allopath. Integrated Doc . . . the search is on.
By the way, your doc is not anywhere Minnesota??

Unfortunately, no. My doc is in California. I asked about functional medicine doctors in other states as I have a friend whose sister is not well and she referred me to the ifm website.
Best of luck to you!

@schreib69, I can understand your desire to request a specific physician. Mayo Clinic's takes a team approach to care. Mayo Clinic's SIBO care team includes doctors trained in digestive diseases (gastroenterologists), nurses, advanced practitioners and chest (thoracic) surgeons who work together to provide exactly the care you need.
Having all of this subspecialized expertise in a single place, focused on you, means that you're not just getting one opinion — care is discussed among the team, appointments are scheduled in coordination and highly specialized experts are all working together to determine what's best for you.
